Stem Cells and PRP
What about stem cells? We use stem cells from PRP in our practice to help treat issues such as stress urinary incontinence, problems with healing, and joint pain.
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability to differentiate into specialized cell types and regenerate damaged tissues. They can be found in various tissues like bone marrow, adipose tissue, and embryonic/fetal tissues. We use platelet rich plasma, which comes from your own blood.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of platelets derived from a person's own blood. Platelets contain growth factors and other bioactive proteins that promote tissue repair and regeneration. PRP is commonly used in musculoskeletal conditions like tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, and ligament sprains. The growth factors released from platelets are believed to enhance the body's natural healing processes.
It's important to note that while stem cells and PRP show promise, their clinical applications are still being studied, and their effectiveness may vary depending on the specific condition. Schedule a consultation with us today to see if stem cells can help you!
